Smart Wings Pergola - bit.ly/3QpFuMz
It’s hard to believe where this backyard started.
What began as a rotted deck that had to be completely rebuilt is finally turning into the outdoor space we envisioned when we bought this house.
In this episode, I install the UltraDeck composite decking and assemble a SmartWings motorized pergola complete with adjustable louvers and smart shades. This project completely changes the way we'll use our backyard and is one of the biggest transformations of our entire fixer-upper remodel.
In this video you'll see:
✅ Installing UltraDeck composite decking
✅ Picture frame deck design
✅ Assembling the SmartWings pergola
✅ Installing the motorized shades
✅ Tips, challenges, and lessons learned
✅ The finished backyard transformation so far
One of the goals for this remodel has always been creating an outdoor space where our family can relax, grill, and spend more time together. For the first time since buying this house, I can finally picture us enjoying this backyard.
A huge thank you to SmartWings for partnering with us on this project! I'll share my honest thoughts throughout the installation and show you how everything came together.
